We've got another great competition with the chance of winning VIP tickets to see England play Australia in Sunderland up for grabs.

Thanks to Carlsberg, you could be in with a chance to substitute your local pub for supporting Roy Hodgson’s men at the Stadium of Light in their friendly fixture against Australia ahead of UEFA EURO 2016™.

England step up their preparations for the tournament with the crucial friendly on Friday at the Stadium of Light, and you could be there.

We’ve teamed up with Carlsberg, the Official Beer of the England Team and Official Beer of UEFA EURO 2016™, to offer you and a friend the chance to be at the match.

This summer, Carlsberg is looking to substitute pessimism for optimism, chores for cheers, even your work shirt for an England shirt, ensuring it’s giving fans across the country the chance to get behind England at UEFA EURO 2016™.

Because if Carlsberg Did Substitutions, they’d probably be the best substitutions in the world.

To be in with a chance of winning, simply send an email with your name, home address and daytime phone number included to copydesk.northeast@jpress.co.uk.

You'll have to be quick in entering however, with the deadline for entries 1pm on Tuesday, May 24.

The winner of the pair of tickets will be notified on Wednesday.

Usual competition terms and conditions apply.
